Meinl's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 20" Powerful ride was much more outspoken, with a higher voice than its medium counterpart. It also produced strong stick response. It gave the impression that it would cut through any style or volume of music.

Just because I'm curious (inquiring minds want to know!), I set up the two 20" rides and the 20" Powerful crash side by side. I wanted to make sure that each one actually did the job it was designed to do. As I struck the cymbals, their qualities and natures emerged true to form. There was no mistaking what I was playing. You could do this in the dark with unlabeled cymbals and still get it right."

Review: "The 20" Powerful ride is higher still in pitch and the stick sound is glassy everywhere except on the bell, where it is suitably strident. "
